Very good, but too damn long! There is a lot of heavy, gross subject matter that I don't necessarily want to say is good, but it's not handled as poorly as it could have been.

I played this game without having played any of the previous ones and that was a wild experience that I would recommend to anyone who isn't already set on reading the whole series. This one does a good job of catching you up on the previous games and there's a lot of very interesting stuff that is introduced in this game.
